Description
The Highfurlong CAAT team consists of Sarah Alderman (Specialist Speech and Language Therapist) and Erica Smith (nee Walwyn) (Communication Team Coordinator for Education). The team assess individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities who have complex communication difficulties and may be non-verbal or have unclear speech. They then provide a report with recommendations and advice regarding alternative forms of communication. There is an option to trial equipment on a short term basis, to find the most suitable means of communication for the individual.
We also offer support and advice for those who need assistive technology in their educational setting for work output. Bespoke training and support can also be provided to support
